I’m sure everyone is familiar with the “trolley problem”.
Do you pull a switch to save lots of people while killing a single person? Is it moral to kill 1 to save many?
Now the Republicans have shown us their answer -
They will pull the switch to kill hundreds of thousands for 1 Big Tax Break.

I don’t know whether it’s more embarrassing or infuriating to watch Trump speak with reporters. The complete disrespect and contempt he displays towards people just doing their job is shameful.
I also find it insulting how the only people he seems to enjoy being around are murderous autocrats.

This was a shameful day.
President Zelenskyy came to the White House, looking for help from his longstanding ally.
He was ambushed, humiliated and berated for not being grateful enough.
Prince Bone Saw bin 9/11 came to the White House, for the first time since he ordered the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.
He was revered.

This was a shameful day.
This morning I was reading a book to a Headstart class about family.
When I said Aunt a little boy looked confused, I said it several different ways, Aunt, Ant, Auntie, and he didn’t recognize the word. I finally asked, “What do you call your mother’s sister?”
He looked at me and said Deloris.

Yikes 😬 an official U.S. government account just referred to Americans as “imbecilic morons.” That’s… a choice.
